The prequel, still untitled, was created by British screenwriter Jane Goldman with author George RR Martin, whose series of novels a song of Ice and Fire (A Song of Ice and Fire) is the basis of the TV series Game of Thrones, HBO said in a statement.

The series will be the Chronicle of "The Fall of the world from the Golden Age of heroes to their darkest hour", and show Secrets of the history of families at war in the fictitious kingdom of Westers.

Only one thing is certain: of the gruesome secrets of the origin of Westerly (west) to the real origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the east, the Stark of the legends... It's not the story we think it is. "
